Default Wind Damaged Tree

Hi,

I have a small apple tree (medium root-stock) that is now leaning at about
15 degrees due to the severe storm.

It's been in about five years.

Can I restore it to vertical or would I do more damage by forcing it
upright?

Thanks

Don't force it upright, but putting some steady pressure on it
(using a stake or some rope) is OK.

Moderation in all things.
